This multi-award-winning course will give you a thorough grounding and understanding of the commercial applications of graphic design. Our aim is to develop creative thinkers and visual communicators who aren’t confined by the conventional boundaries of the industry. We encourage you to think imaginatively to develop engaging and purposeful ideas, and to execute them beautifully. The First Year is about core skills and finding the right pathway. Teaching guides you to be creative, generate ideas and solve problems, with workshops in software, typography and printmaking. Later, we focus on professional projects, emphasising commercial constraints and expectations. We also explore areas like digital design, interaction and motion graphics. In the Final Year you’ll produce a high-quality portfolio. Find out more information on the Illustration pathway.

Course programme
Work placements are actively encouraged and we have a unique 'professional practice' module that prepares students to effectively apply for placements as well as full-time employment. Course tutors have numerous high-profile links with industry and we often place students within these prominent businesses, as well as drawing on others within London and our local region.
Students can either conduct placements as part of a taught module, or during non-taught weeks, or by taking the Sandwich Year option. This allows students to undertake a year’s worth of professional experience between Levels 5 and 6 either in the UK or abroad. Our students have recently completed year-long placements with The Body Shop, Disney, Hewlett Packard as well as many smaller design studios.
